People bitch about "American cars" and their quality, and I just don't see where the problem is.

My Father was Japanese and he always bought American cars as soon as he was in the states. This started in the 60's and he showed me pictures of sick Cameros, a Chevelle, a Pontiac GTO that he owned. In the 70's and 80's with a family it became the Vega, the Impala, the Celebrity, the Caprice etc. Remember these things were pure shit in the 80's but he continued to buy them as he wanted to support this country. This is also when the car ceo's and union workers were acting like complete clueless idiots. I never understood why he bought these junky cars but I do now.
I don't think these companies were ever able to completely shake their arrogance and sloppy products of the 80's. This reputation has continued to haunt American car companies for decades. The cars may be better now but people still remember the past...
